Situated along Portugal’s southern coast in the Algarve, Sagres is renowned for its rugged cliffs, windswept beaches, and storied maritime history. Among its many gems, South Explorers offers an enticing four-hour wine tasting tour that combines nature’s beauty with the artistry of winemaking. The experience begins with a scenic drive to a local winery, set amid the region’s rolling hills, where visitors gain insight into traditional Portuguese wine production. As you wander through vineyards, the air is thick with the scent of ripening grapes, and the landscape stretches out in lush, cultivated rows. After the tour of the winery, guests taste three exceptional wines matched with carefully curated tapas, each reflecting the unique terroir of the Algarve—a place where Atlantic breezes influence the flavor profiles of reds and whites alike.
